Are you a charter member, or is it an honorary membership only?

Answer 2

Note how many feminists today are opposed to affirmative action. Besides, there are still some inequalities left to resolve.

Answer 3

Women aren't the only group that benefits from affirmative action. Are you comfortable saying that EVERY group, from black people to Hispanics, that benefit from affirmative action "aren't really equal and need help?"

Thought so.

Answer 4

Afirmative action policies need to stay in place to protect white men in the future.

Answer 5

Actually, affirmative action means there's a Bigot Factor in a community that keeps equally qualified people down and that local leaders can clearly measure, and do, and then balance out with affirmative action quotas to get around the bigotry and get as many of a targeted demographic group of people out of poverty and off welfare as possible when they finally get a break from the bigots.  Here's a great painting done by Norman Rockwell of Federal Marshals "helping" a little Black girl to school through a storm of chivalrous tomato-throwing bigots.  I think of affirmative action like Federal Marshals helping to keep the baboons at bay.

Answer 6

Affirmative action says that because of prejudice you are not given an equal chance to succeed, or show your worth by employers, so the government is going to force employers to give you a chance to prove yourself.  Affirmative action was a success for blacks, and if it is used for other groups who are not equally represented, why specifically leave out women?
